HOW COULD WE ARM THeMs

The Serious Question Presented In Case
OF War.
The Franco German war cloud, together
with the possibility, however remote, of
trouble arising between the United States
and Canada over the fisheries dispute, has
had the natural effect OF exciting great inter
est in the various implements of modern war
fare. The standard small arm Of the Ameri-
can service is the Springfield single shot rife,
which, although an excellent weapon in its
way. is nevertheless entirely unsuited to cope
with the improved magazine rifle of the pres
ent day. What makes matters worse is the
fact that although foreign governments are
realizing that the American magazine guns
are the best in the world, our own govern
ment seems to evince a decided disinclination
TO adopt any arm OF American private manu-
facture. II Is true that in 1882, in pursuance
OF an act of congress orders were issued by
the war department at Washington directing
a test, with a view to the adoption Of q suit
able magazine gun for the United States SER
vice. The test was a thorough one, and the

II Is said by those who know Miss Davis
well that she helped her father considerably
in the preparation OF his recent history OF the
war. Her studies from youth had been d.
rected in the line of southern war records and
political history, so that when it came TO pre-
pairing the work she was a valuable assistant.
Her aunt says that tho old Confederate leader
relied on her almost entirely in the matter of
collecting and arranging statistics OF the war
and employed her as amanuensis most OF the
time while preparing the work. Nothing
pleased her so much as hunting up facts and
theories to defend the south and the policy OF
her fathers administration Her favorite re-
treat at home is the big library, which con-

reads to her father several hour daily, while

project Of the Moody schools was preached
by their founder in 1879, and his troops of
